Let's see what others have to say about the book!
"For too long, teaching has been treated as an inscrutable craft, with each practitioner fashioning idiosyncratic practices from intuition and experience. But like all professions, pedagogy can be improved through technology, research, and science. This trio of experts show how to elevate this dark art to an effective and enjoyable practice."—Steven Pinker, PhD, Professor of Psychology at Harvard University and New York Times bestselling author of How the Mind Works and Enlightenment Now
“A big step in translating cognitive science and neuroscience into street-level understanding of how learning works. Every teacher, student, and parent will find practical ideas of immediate value.”
—Peter C. Brown, coauthor of Make It Stick
“This book is an absolute must for anyone who cares about education. The brain is geared for learning and adaptation, and this is the definitive set of tools for helping students get the most out of learning. Learning is supposed to be fun—knowing how to do it in the way your brain is designed to learn is the most fun of all. What a delightful, brilliant book.”—Mayim Bialik, PhD, four-time Emmy nominee for The Big Bang Theory and New York Times bestselling author of Girling Up and Boying Up
"This accessible and engaging book will make it easier for teachers to teach and for students to learn. The authors provide the kind of information all prospective teachers should get during their training—but rarely do."
—Natalie Wexler, author of The Knowledge Gap
